Trussing.....

The 'painted' truss that most production co's use isn't painted at all, it's powder coated, a very strong, durable finish. But, even it gets chipped and scratched and lookes like s**t after a while.

And spray painting your truss just looks lame.

ek, I hadn't thought of the Rhino Lining on truss! You can actually buy a DIY kit from Canadian Tire too. We've used it in the past to repair speakers and such. That stuff is bullet proof...Not a bad idea!

With silver trussing, you can point a colored par can at it to give you a great effect. It's called a truss warmer (Kebo does this at many of his shows). You can't do that with a black truss.

Do you have a pic of this?

I have Applied L-11 lifts and 2 sections of Applied 5' triangle truss and have always felt uncomfortable with the fact that the lifts are black, lights are silver and black but the truss is silver... the idea of making the truss glow is interesting... but I think I need to "see it."

I really LOVE this truss warming idea.... I hardly ever use my 8 PAR38s and dimmers anymore - normally I load them and some pin spots into two 5 foot square vertical truss sections... But that has to be a big show since the power reqs are crazy.
